Default Has anyone just pulled their Fuel Injection?
Ok, Has anyone just pulled their factory fuel injection system off their bike and went with a carb ?.
I’m sure it has its advantages / disadvantages And it would be something I’d consider pissing with an older / project bike.

Just curious weither it’s been worth it in the long run.

What possible advantage could there be going from a computer controlled fueling system to a "Controlled fuel leak" carburetor system?
None.
Zero.
Zip.

Of course it's been done, countless times! Some of us were born in the stone age and want to stay there. What do you want to know? There isn't a Harley EFI system that cannot be maintained in working order.

Is it your ignorance or arrogance that said that?
Carbs dont leak, unless 90 deg to the gravity

EFI is a controlled squirt. Neither statement gets us anywhere.

You're just being silly now.
If you truly think less mpg / less power is better then please, keep thinking a carb is the way to go.
